Our guide, Ana Sorrento from Aksos Tours was fantastic. She brought the whole thing to life for us. Pompeii was definitely a highlight for us and the Villa dei Misteri is so worth the extra time. Pompeii was beautiful and poignant. I couldn't believe how well preserved and large the site was. It was very easy to imagine what say to day life must've been like there, with the help of Ana's descriptions. Very hot and long day so be prepared. I'd advise taking a small face towel so that you can wet it and wipe yourself during the day to get some relief from the heat. Definitely take a hat, linen long sleeve shirt too.

VIP tour of the ancient Roman city
Embark on an exclusive 3-hour guided tour of Pompeii, an ancient city with a history spanning thousands of years. An expert archaeological guide, fluent in English, will accompany you, starting with the first rays of sunlight, revealing the history and culture of the Romans. Learn about the city's history, including the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. This volcanic eruption buried the city under a thick layer of ash and pumice, preserving it remarkably well for centuries.
Walk through Pompeii’s highlights
As you stroll towards Pompeii's House of Faun, discover one of the city's most remarkable private residences. Renowned for its grandeur, the House of Faun spans approximately 30,000 square feet, ranking among Pompeii's largest houses. Follow the Via dell’Abbondanza to access the Teatro Grande, Pompeii's most significant theater, dedicated to theatrical performances, musical events, and various public spectacles. But the true highlight of this tour is none other than the Villa of the Mysteries, where you can see the mysterious paintings on the walls depicting ancient ceremonies.
